Between the Sheets (HASHIMOTO Aoi)

Complete | HASHIMOTO Aoi | 2000 released

It's become like hentai -_- Still, it's nice how they're both adjusting for each other rather than just one person adjusting. Where's the resolution for the third guy though. Like poof, he's just forgotten in the end (which is fine really. Since he's stupid af and doesn't have any decency, trying to steal someone who's taken as if he's an object and is with his lover for shallow reasons) I LOVE THE SECRETARY. SUCH A GOOD WINGMAN.

I'm Banging My Rival From A Parallel World!?

Ongoing | Yodogawa Yuo | 2000 released

CW: rape in ch 5. Sleep sex in ch 5.5 Ch 1-2: Titular story. A guy gets hit by a ball and wakes up in a parallel world during sex... with his rival. At the end, it's implied that the parallel world is simply the near future :D A bit cringey at some point 7/10. The extra was... Rapey tho Ch 3: Uke has a cute face but low voice, people kept bothering him about it, so he got insecure. Seme, who has a voice fetish, finds out and becomes interested in uke. Too fast too furious. 3/10 Ch 4: Cliche story of MC's best friend finding love, and the MC swearing to be a supportive friend, then said best friend finally realizes his feelings for the MC, the end. Cute. 6/10 Ch 5: YES. A chubby character, finally! Oh but damn. It's RAPE. Don't you shit with me that it's not rape because he's a bodyguard and stronger than the seme. Strength disappears when you're assaulted unless you're able to maintain your calm and fight back properly. You guys need some lecture on sex, sexual harassment and rape. 0/10 Vol 2 ch 1-4 and 5.5 are about the main couple and I like the direction the story went. Full isekai mode with smut. Though it's a bit too much smut ig - then again that's the main thing about this manga. Banging in a parallel world, haha. Ngl ch 4 was hot. Ch 5 is about the chubby guy and his rapist, so I just skipped it

All the characters are niiiice. I find it weird that the story had a good pacing but at some point (bet. ch 2 and 3) it became messy as if it was missing some pages? or are there things that are only implied and not explicitly stated that i didn't catch upon? also... MAMA IS HOT. Rather surprised that Mama is a seme - I mean, physically, he does look like a seme, but he's a mama xD Love his motherly character though~ Then there's also Tama-chan who's loose, but respects relationships~

The Killer

Complete | kanai kei | 2010 released

A perfect example of bad title/title translation XD It's about a lady (well, old man, not lady) killer, not a literal killer //i don't remember anything about the story except it being cute and no killer XD //skimmed the first chapter, remembered everything It's about a bartender who unconsciously attracts older men (by simply doing his job ffs). One day, a customer attempts to assault him, only to be rescued by another customer. He has a long-time crush on this customer, and the customer likes him as well. They're keeping each other at arms length for different but same reasons: their age gap. The bartender can't believe that the customer likes him as well, being the mature one. Bartender's love borderlines adoration to the customer tbh, but it's on the romantic side anyway. On the other hand, the customer can't make a move on the bartender due to the generation gap (lol, 10 years age gap), and because he knows the bartender is keeping him at an arm's length, so he's afraid that if he makes a (mature) move, the bartender might shy away and stop this farce.

I love how there's no drama, like no third party or attempted third party (just a misunderstanding), and when the uke found something that the seme's ex left, he did get jealous but dismissed it easily. Love it.

Nichijousahan Bi - Beautiful Life

Complete | Moto Haruhira,Moto Haruko | 2010 released

Woah woah woah, the dude just let his child bathe with a stranger. Wtf. Though at least he's a good guy and didn't do shit to the child Uke's getting raped and other people don't care i want to kill that rapist

Shinkonsan!

Complete | Chishanomi | 2017 released

Ch 1-2.5: story about childhood friends who hate each other but got married. Sweet! I love the subtle love-hate relationship where action speaks louder than words! Though I'm mildly disturbed by the seme tweeting that the uke is cheating - although the fans support them so I assume they know the context afterwards. Ch 3-6: A story about the bartender and his step-brother who's a famous actor with whom he had a heavily toxic relationship with when they were young. They were feeling the same way towards each other, however, they didn't talk about it, hence the story. I like how they (especially the seme, since he seems to be an entitled asshole when he was young) matured nicely and came back together well.
